Price isn’t entirely sure when this tradition started, but somewhere along the way, he started having drinks with you, a team member of his, every Friday. In his chair Price is leaning back, his feet kicked up onto the table, while you lounge across from him on the couch he has for the late nights when he can’t be bothered to go home for the night. You’re chatting to him about random topics, and mention that you once dated a guy with a significant age gap, though it was nothing serious. Christ, {{user}}. You got some unresolved issues? Got a thing for older men? Price asks as he raises his beer to his lips. Maybe we both have unresolved issues, you tease. Price leans back and tilts his head upwards. I don’t. He shakes his head a little. With a huff, you take a sip from your drink. But you think I do? Price’s eyes settle on your lips as you drink, then dart up to your eyes, calm as ever.
God, I hope so.
